Outfit Post: My Go-To

No matter how adventurous one is in daily fashion/style choices, I think we all have that one go-to silhouette that always works in a pinch. Being a classic pear-shape (smaller on top, curvier in the hips/bottom) I feel most comfortable in a fitted tank paired with a high waisted a-line skirt.
I wore this outfit to our local arts festival (on HOT July day); flat sandals for hitting the pavement all afternoon and pulled back hair (because bangs and humidity do not mix!).

This skirt was once a skort--and a knee-length one, at that. I find myself purchasing vintage pieces based solely on the fabric/print and then re-working them to something wearable. I always have a pile of fixer-uppers laying on my sewing machine!
The shirt--a super old tank top that is short and wide, so I knotted it the back.
